      Really nice spot for the junction area to have...
      Bit pricey; but a lot of quality foods/goods.
      Atmosphere and experience; Definitely beats the competitor down the street........ Also; great mgmt that takes an interest in being the best in the neighbourhood.

      Price gouging at the Sweet Potato: Disgusting. M&C Dairy yoghurt, 2 kg, produced by Future Bakery and available *retail* at Future Bakery, 106 North Queen Street, for $5.99. $11.99 at Sweet Potato. Despite the *friendly* atmosphere they are not your friend. This is *Loblaws style* price gouging.

      Updated review

      updating my review because of service and prices. also they do not honor the Canadian Scanner Price Accuracy code. If the price was wrong they give you the difference. Also they have a number of incorrect prices so be sure to check your receipt. They are great about carrying local items and speciality items which is welcomed and they ethically supply their foods and products. They hire lots of staff but it's mostly to run the store and never seem much trained in customer service. Recently there were two of us waiting to check out and only one cashier while the other cashier just walked around doing other things but never indicating she was ready to assist the next person in line. then during the check out the cashier left and went to the other side to do something while I waited to be able to pay. So great products but not great service. Prices tend to be high and often more than 2 dollars higher per item as compared to a local grocery store where applicable. And always get your receipt and check it.

      Love this place! The staff are knowledgable and friendly - they even pack up your bags at check out.

      Excellent selection of gluten options, they have a GF vegetable pakora that is out of this world (tamarind sauce sold separately but totally worth it). I would definitely suggest the Made Good red velvet cookies and the Boar Bacon as well.

      They're open late - 9/10pm depending on the night, which is really convenient.

      I started shopping here during Covid, even though it's not close to me because other health stores were not supplying fresh quality produce. TSP never disappoints me and the staff is helpful and friendly. Everything is organic and the prepared foods are so good I buy extra and freeze some. Love the muffins and scones and the new fresh organic bread. During the worst of the pandemic I used the pickup service and everything was great! Keep up the great work! Thanks

      A wonderful store in the neighbourhood to get organic, local products at good prices! It's clear that they care for their employees, and have their staff and customer's health as a top priority in the store. Ignore the recent negative reviews from anti-maskers - this store has unfortunately suffered from an employee getting sick before, and I'm sure they're all working extremely hard and trying their best to ensure it doesn't happen again. The Sweet Potato is a true gem in the neighbourhood, and the customer service has been impeccable every time I've been.

      crazy awesome store. incredible fresh produce mostly organic and often local. we spend hundreds of dollars a week here. prices are fair especially for produce. probably the best place to buy organic produce in toronto. the new store is massive. my only complaint is that i can't recall ever having the same cashier twice in a row. they seem to have major staff turnover. the old location they had a steady amazing staff the we got to know. also just the other day they shortened store hours a bit without notifying us. first world problems! the sweet potato was really great during the pandemic. they made us feel safe. they're a big part of this neighborhood. we started going to them before they were a store when they were doing a weekend market in high park!

      This store is awesome! It's actually the very first grocery store I went into IRL during the pandemic (last Spring, after emerging from self-imposed xxtreme grocery carefulness) and had a very relaxing experience, as I (and my roommate and partner) had before, and have had many times since.

      Despite often shopping at slightly more downscale/budget stores, I specifically chose Sweet Potato because I felt safe going there. The aisles are also wider than at some other stores, which I think is particularly useful for social distancing.

      I'm sorry to have seen that some of your employees had to go through such an infuriating experience with that idiotic, condescending, self-satisfied fool that some other reviewers have already mentioned. Super impressed with how it was handled, but as someone who's worked a lot of retail, man that sucks and I hope you all got some TLC that day.

      This is a great place! Wonderful food selection! Expansive opening hours that are so helpful! I really appreciate the local and organic produce, and the good selection of gluten-free options. The delivery service has been a life-saver during some rough points during the pandemic, and it is more accurate than any other grocery delivery I've experienced. Also, full of friendly and helpful staff. Keep up the great work!
